Tweaking, adding a player here, removing checking to see what works. What is happening right now is new and different. Draft-pick trading logic just got borked and is the canary in the coal mine for this. On Average/Neutral it shouldn't take a star player to pick up an absolute garbage relief pitcher from all teams. It also shouldn't take a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round pick to acquire a 10th round draft pick. The last time I saw something this weird was when you had Generate International Amateur Free Agents off and it caused the International Complex to disappear.
I'm disabled and spend about 6 hours a day playing this game (more like 12 hours a day half of the week when my pain levels are low enough). I really, truly believe there is something weird going on right now that just popped up recently.

It does not require a star player all the time to obtain garbage. The AI is saying, "this is who I want". What it wants, and what it gets, are two different things. Sometimes for whatever reason, the AI simply doesn't want to trade.
May I suggest filling out a team needs list also. While the AI will present players it may never have any intention of trading to you, it also keeps this list in mind when presenting offers. I've actually had some pretty mundane trades happen. Not a lot of blockbuster deals.
I can honestly say I feel the AI is the best it's ever been right now. I realize it's not perfect, and never will be, but I feel it's pretty challenging and realistic on the defaults right now.
